If the Rangers make it through this round, their next opponent is the epitome of your descriptor.

You need not have watched the third period last night; you described it perfectly without seeing it. The entire space in front of Igor was completely undefended. Inexplicable! Cut to a Daffy Duck cartoon where he says "In---des--picable!" and substitute the word and that sums it up.

They wanted a series for the ages, well, they're getting their money's worth now!

Meanwhile, back in Mile High country, my dream Stanley Cup final took yet another blow as Dallas beat down Colorado into submission last night. A Vancouver - Dallas Western Conference semifinal is slowly starting to take shape. #1 Pacific vs. #1 Central seems inevitable.

Tonight, do the Panthers put the Bruins away? doesn't look good for Beantown.

Peace!

However true that may be, and, in any case, of no consolation, it can be said for at least half the teams in the League except perhaps Jerrah's Boys who through some twist of fate haven't played for a Conference Championship in what will be 29 years, or almost 2 1/2 times longer than Our Heroes. That gotta hurt! Then again, it's been even worse for Washington's NFC Least.

Cheers!

Quote from: MightyGiants on Today at 12:38:27 PMIt seems like you refuse to give Jones any credit for the team's success, but are more than willing to blame him for the team's shortcomings.

To the last 8 games, to avoid that issue, I will look at how Jones did

From last to earliest

Opponent -- QB rating -- QBR -- PFF grade

Eagles -- 53.8 -- 11.7 -- 46.7
Vikings -- 114.1 -- 82.5 -- 80.9
Colts -- 125.2 -- 97.0 -- 81.9
Vikings -- 92.8 -- 59.1 -- 85.3
Washington -- 77.6 -- 76.8 -- 75.8
Eagles -- 96.1 -- 77.0 -- 78.0
Washington -- 104.3 -- 32.5 -- 68.4
Cowboys -- 88.8 -- 60.9 -- 50.8

So to answer your question, the team didn't do that well, but more often than not Jones played well.

Thanks to the Vikings and Dolts.

I have to disagree about the needs and they omitted Adoree Jackson as a loss.

RB and TE will not likely be a signing priority. I'd like a veteran CB but there is no way the Eli/Anne act come back to town. They should have resigned Leo Williams. It was a good trade but he was available at the end of the season.

Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 12:24:42 PMBy a brilliant Offensive drafted by Daboll to disguise Jones deficiencies and work to his Run Strength. Saquon, Dink, Dunk, Read option. Then at the end of the season the league figured it out and they got lucky to face the lousy Vikings Defense. How did those last eight games go again?

Quote from: Painter on Today at 12:07:49 PMWink's approach was of little benefit to the Giants Rushing Defense whereas Bowen's has had a good history in that area. As for what Burns may or may not bring to the table, it's hard to imagine that Bowen played no role in the decision to trade for him. We shall see, I reckon.

Cheers!

The absence of a solid 3T and two Receivers who will struggle in Run Support is somewhat concerning for me. Zone coverage will require the ILB's to have Coverage responsibilities. Read and React. I hope it doesn't take three games to get up to speed.

Quote from: uconnjack8 on Today at 11:19:48 AMEd,

I get your point, and I think Thibs and Burns are going to spend considerable more time trying to be get in the backfield then in coverage. I could be wrong, but from what Daboll has said about being more of an "attacking" defense, I am guessing those guys will be deployed mostly as penetrators.

Burns did not grade out as a good run defender which, for me, is why your question/point is a good one.

I can't help but see another Buffalo similarity here. Buffalo's DL likes to get up field and disrupt. And they have mostly been good at it. Seems like that's the direction Daboll wants this D to go.

Wink's approach was of little benefit to the Giants Rushing Defense whereas Bowen's has had a good history in that area. As for what Burns may or may not bring to the table, it's hard to imagine that Bowen played no role in the decision to trade for him. We shall see, I reckon.

Quote from: Ed Vette on Today at 11:44:48 AM2019, a middling Oline and a 4-12 season. Then the dink and dunk of 2022, only to get spanked by the Eagles in the playoffs. You glossed over the point. He will NEVER win this team a SB Trophy. Do I need to repeat myself? OK
"Jones will win games as I always said he could and be a better Regular season QB than Eli, and then choke in the playoffs."

How did Jones get to the position to be "spanked" by the Eagles in the playoffs?
